Capybaras are not giant rats. They are a large species of rodent. All that means is that their front teeth grow continuously and they gnaw to keep their teeth short. Capybaras are more closely related to guinea pigs than rats. They are sweet and docile creatures. Caplin is a very well cared for and loved creature. He gives love in return. I think they are wonderful animals!
A capybara is not a giant rat, it is a member of the rodent family. All that means is that it has front teeth that grow continuously and it has to gnaw things to keep them short. Capybaras are more closely related to guinea pigs than rats. It's not as if you find capybaras in the sewers! They are loving and sweet docile animals. Caplinis
They are so precious I wish pple in South America like HUGO CHAVEZ would stop killing them and eating them. Capybaras are incredible, beautiful, intelligent animals and don't hurt pple. I love this vid! Cinco Estrallas!!!
I am a Vegetarian and if pple knew the health and environmental benefits of not eating meat they would be a lot healthier. But this is how I look at this is also a not a regular livestock animal and HC is a jerk like Bush. The poor capybaras have enough to worry about with all the wild animals down their why should pple add to their endangerment when they can eat the pork/cow/chickens. Yes capybaras are endangered so pple should not eat them.
Wasn't Caplin totally cute on Animal Planet? I loved where they had him looking through the door. Hopefully they will post that on the web someday, somewhere.
i don't think they are. they're openly hunted for food and leather (and also by hunters who see them as competition for grazing land). their population is also stable, so they do not have any kind of conservational status.
L-M-F-A-O!!! I WAS THINKING THE EXACT SAME THING...I was like........wooooaahh there partner..what kinda freaky deaky--then after watching the entire thing i realize he/she is really just attached to the guy.
caplincapybara isn't exactly right about the venezuela thing. In venezuela they're only allowed to be hunted for part of the year, around lent, as the catholics consider them fish rather than "meat." For most of the year it is illegal to hunt them.
Anyway, I just worry about animals from Brazil being sold ilegally to other countries. They put a lot of them into little cages ans half of the die before they reach they're destiny...
But as I can see you are taking good care of yours and its cute. ^^
In portugal they speak an older form of portuguese in fact.
But the word Capivara comes from this Brazillian tribe I told you. The Tupi Guarani tribe. And in tupi guarani language it means exactly "grass eater", not cutter...
CAPIVARA is a name that comes from the Brazillian Tupi Guarani tribe and it means "comedor de capim" or "grass eater"... I'm brazillian. And the CAPIVARAS here are protected by law. If you have one in captivity outside Brazil or other South American countries its ilegal.. sorry if I bothered you. ^^
That's interesting but not true. Capybaras are not protected everywhere in their range. In Venezuela, for example, they are both hunted and ranched for food and leather products. In ny case, Caplin is fourth generation captive bred so he would be grandfathered in.
Thank you for your comment. I met a man from Portugal who told me that capi vara means "grass cutter" in an older version of Portuguese.
You can look at the CaplinCapybara channel for information on where we got him. Why did we get him? We saw them in the wild in Venezuela and fell in love with capybaras. We live in the country and so have the room to keep him. And we heard they made good pets.
Really now? They die if not in their habitat? Because Caplin looks pretty alive to me. Not only that, but Capybaras are often kept in captivity.
All things considering though, you're arguement holds no water, as you have spelled the name of the animal you claim to know so much about, incorrectly.

SIHELL 2 years ago
@kannon9 partly true - we eat too much meat/fish and should augment our daily quantities of fruit and vegetables, but:
- if everyone were vegetarian, the planet could not support us either, since you need a lot more vegetables than meat to nourish your body
- we would eat away the food source of herbivores and they would die out
- if herbivores slowly die out, carnivores will have less food available, making them possibly aggressive towards humans...
- WE ARE OMNIVOROUS and should behave as such
